It’s cliche, but pickup lines, whether intentionally or not, are hilarious. Yet no matter how many times people (let’s be honest, it’s usually men) try them out on a hopeful partner — and no matter how many times they get shot down — they keep on trying them again and again.
Whether you’ve been on the receiving end of any of these pickup lines, or if you’ve tried any of them out yourself (please don’t!), we guarantee you’ll have a good chuckle at these funny pickup lines that we culled from the internet, some of which we even wrote ourselves.

See, this one only works if it’s sent via text. Somehow, someone speaking it aloud instantly makes it lose its “charm.”

Everything Must Go
Yikes! In the #MeToo era, this tweeted pickup line is begging for a lawsuit.
This One Is Definitely Out of Gas
Licenses get suspended for many reasons, and if there were a law against corny automobile-laced pickup lines, right now you’d be getting pulled over.
Reboot! Reboot!
We’re going to guess that this guy has had some bad luck with Apple users in the past.
Uh, Keep That Tide Far From Shore!

Maybe There’s a Reason
Uh, hold on, we’ll amend that right now. What? No, we swear we’re not dialing the police.

Another one that deserves a slap in the face.
Self-Love Is the Best Kind
As Oscar Wilde said, “To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.”
Wrong Kind of Homework
Please, for the love of all that is holy, don’t ever try this excuse on your teacher!
Just Keep Your Hands Off
Hmm, maybe a better approach would be to not refer to the person in question as a “thing.”
Not the Moon?
Careful, Icarus, lest you get too close to that shiny ball and melt the wax on your wings.
Not the Right Kind of Jab
We’re guessing this technique doesn’t adhere to social distancing.
Don’t Cluck Around
This is a bit too real if you’ve seen Alfred Hitchcock’s “The Birds.”
Animal Magnetism
Sure, we all have traces of metals in our bodies but not enough to be pulled around like in a Roadrunner cartoon!
Off the Deep End
Maybe this Twitter user should take a long walk off a short plank!

An ‘Open’ Book
Well, excuse us while we go and grab an eraser to delete that mental image forever.

Memo to the clueless out there: People are not “things” to be possessed and traded like baseball cards!
Bend It Like Beckham
Karma sutra pickup lines? What is this, the 1990s? We all know that no one reads anymore!
Look What I Brought You
This Twitter user must have forgotten how organ donation works.
An Oldie That No One Wants Making a Comeback
Sure, sure. We’ve heard this one before, which is why we do have a mirror to break over your head.
Calling Doc Brown!
Next, you’re gonna tell us you have a DeLorean!
Oversharing
You, uh, might want to get that checked out.
Have You Learned Nothing?
Cute, but maybe you should study some books on how to actually talk to people.
Next!
Maybe try this one in a place that’s not traffic court. Or jail.
